Accidentally in bed with the wrong brother Chapter 46: I want Ethan
Skye Our food arrives, interrupting my thoughts. I thank the waitress as she places my sandwich and milkshake in front of me, then reach for the straw. The first sip is cold and sweet, exactly what I need after the long morning. Ethan watches me. “Good?” I nod. “Really good.” “Let me try.” I slide the glass across the table. He takes a sip through the straw, then makes a thoughtful face. “Not bad.” I pull it back. “Not bad? It’s delicious.” “Maybe you just have questionable taste.” I gasp. “You asked for a sip and now you’re insulting my drink?” “I’m being honest.” “Well, don’t ask for another one.” He laughs and reaches for his burger. I take another sip, trying not to smile. It’s silly, really. Nothing extraordinary is happening. We’re eating lunch, teasing each other, and talking about school. But I feel happy. Not the nervous, desperate kind of happiness I used to feel whenever Ethan acknowledged me from across a crowded room. This is quieter. More comfortable. I d
Accidentally in bed with the wrong brother Chapter 45: A Beautiful lunch
Skye By the time our last class ends, I’ve checked the time on my phone so many times that I’m beginning to feel ridiculous. I try to concentrate on the professor’s final explanation, but my attention keeps drifting toward the clock above the whiteboard. The hands seem to move slower than usual, and every time someone asks another question, I have to resist the urge to sigh. Ethan is waiting for me. The thought alone brings a smile to my face, and I quickly lower my eyes to my notebook before the girl sitting beside me notices. I haven’t felt this excited about seeing him in a while. Not because I haven’t wanted to, but because most of our interactions lately have been brief, usually happening between classes or whenever I manage to find an excuse to approach him. Today is different. He actually asked me to spend time with him. He wants to have lunch with me. It’s a small thing, probably nothing worth getting excited over, but I can’t help it. When the professor finally dismi
Accidentally in bed with the wrong brother Chapter 44: As simple as that.
Skye I barely sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see Jace standing in the doorway of his dorm, his face unreadable as he looks at me.Go to Ethan, Skye. The words keep replaying in my head, over and over, until I finally give up trying to sleep.By the time my alarm goes off, I’m already staring at the ceiling.I reach for my phone and silence it before it can wake Chloe and Kimberly. For a few seconds, I stay where I am, staring at the faint light coming through the curtains.I should feel relieved.Jace made his position clear last night. There is no us. He doesn’t want whatever this strange thing between us has become, and he practically told me to go back to the person I’ve wanted all along.Ethan. That should make everything simple again. Except it doesn’t.I sit up and drag a hand through my hair. “Get a grip, Skye.” My voice sounds ridiculous in the quiet room.I get out of bed before I can think about it any longer.By the time I’m dressed and walking across campus, I’ve c
Accidentally in bed with the wrong brother Chapter 43: What the hell is wrong with me?
JaceThe moment the door closes, I just stand there. I stare at it. For several seconds, I don’t move. I can still see her face in my head. The way she looked at me.The way her voice changed when she said she wanted to talk about what happened between us.And the worst part? For one stupid second, I wanted to open the door again.I wanted to pull it open, stop her from leaving, and tell her she was wrong. Tell her that I hadn’t stopped thinking about her.Tell her that seeing her on the field had fucked with my head more than I wanted to admit.Tell her that when she stood there watching me with Tiffany, I noticed her the entire time. I noticed her the second she walked onto the field.I noticed the way she stood there, waiting for me to look at her. And I did. I fucking did. I just looked away. Because looking at her for too long would’ve made me do something stupid.I drag a hand through my hair and let out a sharp breath. “Fuck.” My chest feels tight.I hate this. I hate the way s
Accidentally in bed with the wrong brother Chapter 42: Something is wrong with me.
SkyeBy the time I get back to the dorm later, I’ve convinced myself that I’m fine. At least, that’s what I tell myself.The moment I step through the door, Chloe looks up from her bed. Kimberly is sitting cross-legged on the floor with her laptop open in front of her, and both of them glance at me at the same time.I smile. “Hi.”Neither of them answers immediately. Chloe narrows her eyes.“What?”She looks at Kimberly, then back at me. “What happened?”“Nothing.” The answer comes too quickly.Kimberly raises an eyebrow. “That sounded suspicious.”I drop my bag beside my bed and start taking off my shoes. “There’s nothing suspicious about it. I’m just tired.”“Tired?” Chloe repeats.“Yes.”She watches me for another second. “You look weird.”I stop pulling off my other shoe. “I always look weird.”“No, you don’t.” She sits up straighter. “You look like something happened.”Nothing happened. Nothing that should matter, anyway. I saw Jace. Tiffany walked over to him. They talked. He la
Accidentally in bed with the wrong brother Chapter 41: It’s better this way, right?
Skye I tell myself it’s because leaving now would make it obvious that I’m bothered. If I walk away the second Tiffany approaches him, anyone watching might think I’m jealous. I’m not jealous. At least, I shouldn’t be. Tiffany reaches Jace, and the smile on her face grows wider. She says something I can’t hear from where I’m standing, and Jace looks down at her. He doesn’t look annoyed. He doesn’t look like he wants her to leave. Instead, the corner of his mouth lifts. My chest tightens. I hate that I notice. I hate that I’m standing here watching them when I could easily turn around and leave. I could go back to the dorm, take a shower, put on something comfortable, and spend the rest of the evening with Chloe and Kimberly. That would be normal. That would be sensible. So why am I still standing here? Tiffany says something else, and Jace laughs. Actually laughs. The sound carries across the field, and something uncomfortable twists inside me. I’ve heard him laugh before.
